Poems from Wonderland

Undertow

I'm being swept away,
By the undertow you have made,
Chasing my breath away,
With all the words you have said.

I just wonder where we'll go from here.
We're barely brushed the surface.
I just wonder where things are gonna go.
Because life is always in a rush.

Come take my hand in yours,
Just lead me on towards some unknown.
I think I'll be fine with you right here.
I think I can trust you for a little while.

I just wonder where we'll go from here.
We're barely brushed the surface.
I just wonder where things are gonna go.
Because life is always in a rush.

Just hold onto me for tonight,
And I'll stay right by your side,
Holding your hand right in mine,
We'll watch the stars go and hide.
 
Oh, sometimes the silence is louder than my heartbeat,
Cause I can't help but wait here for you.
It's like waiting for a tidal wave to crash down,
With the harder I'm falling for you.
It's like waking up in the middle of a storm,
And gasping for air.
It's like running forever in the snow,
Trying to find my way back.
Oh, darling, I think I've finally lost it.
But I know that I'm finding it in you.
Whatever may happen,
Just know that we'll pull through.
 
I've got nothing left to hide.
I'm a clean slate from all the blood I've spilled.
When the mask is removed,
I wonder if you'll still love me in the morning.
The hands that have touched you so intimately,
Have stolen the lives of countless others.
The lips that whisper of love,
Have whispered laughter of malice to the dying.
When your hands touch my skin,
I wonder if you can feel the horror I've committed.
I'm a monster to the core,
But you tame my beast.
And as much as the blood and death drives me forward,
You're what keeps me from drowning.
So now that I've let you in on my secrets,
Am I still the man you went to bed with last night?
 
Diamond dust wafting into the ether
Starlight dancing on the sound waves of a dream
Moon beams pierce the shimmering darkness
Fire flies float along the winds of time
Crystalline charms drift with the nectar of sighs
Sun spots spill molten tears across the milky plains
Clouds of chemical smoke dissolve in hushed silence
The essence of Space and Time shall remain a beauteous mystery
While the dreamer sleeps and imagines a world of galaxies
 
I'm tired
These shoulder bones keep bending
Closer and closer to breaking
Keep seeing the ground
Rise up and up
As if to tell me
I've had enough
But I try to push forward
But it's just too painful
My teeth are cracked
From all the strain
Of trying to stay sane
And keep the world
From crashing around me
It's hard as hell
To even find Me
The person that I am
Or was before
I don't know anymore
My eyes are stapled shut
By the heaviness
Burning in my gut
Just waiting to explode
From the voice just waiting
Waiting and waiting to scream
Out against all insanity
Because I can no longer dream
It's like staring at the sun
Eventually the light goes dim
And there's nothing left
 
Love is like a shooting star
Beyond my reach and falling far
I try to catch it but it's beyond my grasp
I look up to the sky, hoping it won't last
We bare our hearts and our scars
Hoping to accept our marks
The ones that taint us as the lonely
The broken
The misled
And the ones who want to lash out
I reach my hand out to grab onto something real
To touch upon the gossamer thread of the unknown
But it slips through my fingers once more
Will I ever catch this ghost of what was?
Or chase it forever with the crystalline tears
That fall like stars and rain
 
I feel like I'm standing on the edge of something irreplaceable
Like one little push might topple my reason into oblivion
I try to maintain something unreachable
But I find it is heading closer to the precipice
Of a sound wave about to explode
I can't seem to hold on -
I'm breaking my fingertips to keep from letting go
And the air has been stolen from my lungs
I can't even scream or whisper -
The agony of confusion and ecstasy
Is like being hit by a lightning bolt
It's an electrocution of memories
Just flowing through the heart
And stopping the beat of time
It takes over and destroys your mind
Before you breathe and feel alive
 
Forcing It's way inside of me,
This poison is sinking into my veins.
It's like a toxic aphrodisiac.
One sip and I'll be taken in.
My mind is my own death sentence,
My heart- a broken violin.
The song they keep playing sound similar,
But the lyrics are not the same.
One screams in beautiful agony,
While one sings in decomposing symphonies.
They are destroying little parts of me,
While I'm trying to find what's left to be.
Is this all that I've got left?
I can't believe in such things.
I have to get rid of this poison.
One bullet and it will all end.
Put the cold cylinder to the breaking point,
Shut your eyes to absorb paradise.
This is what we've been searching for.
And one trigger pull ends it tonight.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
 
Sometimes the silence is all that I need,
Even when my heartbeat resounds in my ears.
I just wish to close my eyes and dream,
From fairy tales to nightmares.
Reality is inescapable,
And so I lay my head down to rest.
The blankets wrap around me,
Almost like a sanctuary.
Here is where I can disappear.
Here is where I am free.
 
Because Rory Wrote Me A Poem - He gets one too.

Seemingly always with a drink in hand,
Coping with things I can't understand,
It creeps up on me when I'm not prepared:
The thoughts of a drowning man.

Drunken notes left to be read,
Leave a curiosity and dread.
The bottle has always been a demon:
An elixir for angry words.

Yet there is never malice,
Only a sense of yearning,
A sense of something lost.
A want for a different reasoning.

The man behind the screen is foreign,
A person with an inner depravity,
Not much unlike my own.
It brings about a curiosity.

I cannot fathom those untethered thoughts,
The words that scrawl across the screen,
But I see a kindred soul,
Screaming just like me.
 
Wow! I'm a huge fan of your poetry already, and now that I have one of my own... I can't stop smiling. This has made a huge impact on my day; you have no idea. Thank you, Hahvoc. <3
 
I crave to touch those inner workings,
A confidant to your secrets.
My mind goes to those barred off feelings,
My fingers touching the metal patchwork
That seals away any progress.
My mind is my own prison,
Yet yours is like a maze.
I can see escape -
You're trapped in the haze.
It's like walking in the snow,
Seeing nothing and no one for miles,
And then I see you there,
Trapped by metal and mental chains.
I reach out, but cannot touch-
I have no place there,
In the corners of your chaotic mind.
 
The Hallway

There is a hallway that keeps me separate,
From every other piece of myself.
It's like walking through an alley way,
With ghosts drifting behind you.

It makes me think of this place,
This residence of creativity,
And the demons everyone face,
Even in just memory.

I've said, "Never again," so many times,
But then like a wave, you wash over me,
And clutter up my mind,
Making me wonder why.

I've dubbed you the Drowning Man,
And I know I can't save anyone,
Even if I offer up my hand.
It's like reaching for the sun.

Yet I still linger here,
Almost with bated breath,
Wondering why I wander still,
When you've disappeared.
 
Tear Me Apart From The Inside

I've been running through this cage for my entire life.
I can't help but think this is all that's left for me.
I need to escape the prison that They built around me.

My lips are cracked from the endless screaming.
My voice has been broken down to a bloody whisper,
And I still can't seem to figure out where you are.

The faces of muted time-tellers are lifeless,
And they can't answer any of my questions-
Questions you should be here to answer.

I struggle to escape from all this insanity,
Yet They still won't let me leave.
I've taken all their pills and done all their tests.

They won't even let me see Outside.
Outside is where you're supposed to meet me.
Curled up in my darkened misery-

I raise my head to Their fake sun,
Trying to picture your beautiful face.
But it's all such a blur.

You're the only one in my head.
You're the one who put me here.
I've been crazy all along.

You've never been here.
 
I search for you.
Waiting,
Waiting,
Waiting.
How did you manage
To get under my skin?
How did you find a way
To pry into my mind?
I think about the silly things.
The insightful things,
And the sad things you said,
That made me want to cross boundaries
To be where you are.
There are no real wishing stars,
But I would wish for one thing
If I could find a way.
To see your name on my screen,
And your message just for me.
